A Phase OF Development Whose Impor
tanco Can Not 10 Overestimatcd.
1t Is noticeable that while there is q
degree of dullness in some lines Of in
dustrial effort. tho builders Of railroads
were never more busy than they are at
the present time. 1t Is estimated that
$500, 900, 900 represents the sum of the
railroad building. present and twelve
months prospective, in this country.
This industry, 1t must be remembered.
involves a number Of other industries,
which, however, arc akin to 1t. In tho
! surveys. in the grading. track-laying,
bridge, culvert and station building, o
variety of callings is required, each
giving employment to q large number
Of persons; and, with all this railroad
building. the fact should not be over
looked that while tho Nation is being
built up. as it were. various in
dustrial as well as agricultural
interests are being developed just as
a growing tree increases in size and
strength. and puts forth numerous
branches in various directions. When
the fact is contemplated that there are
seven hundred thousand persons en-
ployed in the railroad service already,
and that thousands Of persons are also
employed in the building Of new rail.
roads, that other fact occurs to us that
with the railroads everywhere there is
added o tenfold multiplication of tho
value of the country bordering. Tho
impetus given to the construction OF
locomotives. passenger and freight
cars by railroad buildings has been
noted especially in the daily press. All
Of the leading establishments in this
respect are full Of work. This gives
strength and tone to the iron industry.
Had it not been for the railroads il is
probable that wo should find to-day
the principal population and business
prosperity within few miles
Of the seaboard and tho
main navigable waters. Hereto
fore the population Of our country
has doubled in numbers in about
twonty-three years. II We assume that
it will now take twcnty-three years
from 1887 to give tho country 100, ,000.-
600 of people, this rate of progress will
call for all the facilities for transporta-
ton that can be>afforded by the con-
struction of 5000 miles of railroad
yearly for some years to come. At
present there arc dozen or more
trunk roads and great water routes
engaged in managing the tonnage.
local and otherwise. Of tho country;
but with population Of 100. 900. 600 Of
| people these transportation facilities
would prove grossly inadequate.

nut lumber will make 100000 Of

ECONOMICAL LIVING.
Tho Kind OF Moral Courage Which Is
Needed All Over tho Country.

Tho Kind OF Moral Courage Which Is
Needed All Over tho Country.
The oft-repeated injunction ito live
within your MEANS" presupposes that
you know what your means are. But
If you belong to one of the many diff
fcrent classes, you do not know this.
The income of tho farmer, the mer-
chant, the mechanic is not only an un-
known, but very uncertain quantity.
In fact very few vacations have an alb
solutely sure amount of emolument
attached to them. But whilo tho
precise figure Of the income
may not bo known, o pretty
correct general estimate may be
made. and by this the expenditure
should be regulated. One may know
for instance that the profits Of q ono
horse farm will not be more than few
hundreds, and that thousands can not
be realized In single year from few
hundreds invested In trade. Foolish
extravaganza consists In adopting q
style of living more costly than this
general estimate warrants. Just now
wc may say that this mistake Is very
common here in our Southland. Our
people find 1t difficult to adjust their
ideas to the very small figures that
represents their income, and find 1t
altogether as difficult to forego tho lux
uries and conveniences which require
larger means than they can command.
As result. the amount of their in
debtedness grows larger year by year.
This latter fact they appreciate well
enough. The trouble is that they
either can not or will not preceive that
the only way out of tho difficulty Is In
a less expensive style Of living.
Simply cutting of one or two articles
will not suffice. A complete lowering
of the whole scale is what is required.
To effect this, demands an amount Of
moral courage which every person
does not possess. 1t Is not pleasant to
confess to ones circle the more plain
ness in all the details OF living is abso-
lutely necessary-that the dress must
be cheaper, the oqupage less stylish, tho
hospitality less liberal But to all
such small economies. our people
must stoop if they would hope to re-
licyo themselves from the thraldom Of
debt. Most Of the fortunes that were
once enjoyed in this section were built
up by living within very narrow in
comes. Fifty years ago, wages ..were
smaller than now, and tho purchas-
Ing powers of money no greater.
Money advances. If made at all, were
mado at fearful rates Of interest. But
despite these adverse circumstances
many young men laid tho foundations
of what, before they were old, were
splendid estates. So we contend they

WASHINGTON, JANUARY 81, 1897.
THE LICENSE BILL AND WHERE
1T NEEDS AMENDING,

The Commissioners of Excise of the
city Of Now York have issued new
schedule of rates for excise licenses, to
20 into effect February 10, fixing the
ordinary saloon or bar-room license at
5000, which is an increase from Si5;
the ale, beer and wine license at $50,
and the ale and beer license, simply, ut
$50. StoIekeepers' licenses for the sale
of all kinds of liquors in quantities less
than five gallons, not to be drank on
the premises, range from $50 TO $3.50,
according TO annual sales, The latter
rates, It is understood, are entirely
satisfactory 10 the Groccrs Associa.
ton, and the schedule, as whole, is
thought better adapted TO the end in
view and more practicable than the
legislation proposed at Albany.
The action of the Commissioners is
Of special interest at this time In the
two respects that 1t makes what is con-
sidered in New York an extraordinary
increase in the bar room license, and at
the same time draws Il broad line of
the beer.shop. 1t is in the latter re-
spect that THE CRITIC holds the Dis
trict bill, now pending in the House, to
stand in need of modification. This
bill not only makes the bar.room
license more than double what 1t is to
be in New York, but compcls the small
dealer who sells beer only, and mostly
to customers who consider II as much u
necessity as their tea and coffee, to pay
the same.
Assuming that the traffic has to be
regulated by license, as long as it can
not be prohibited by law, there is a
manifest injustice and inconsistency in
this. 1t is not right that privileges
which differ so widely in value should
be subjected to the same tax, unless it
he the object of the bill to drive the
poor men all out of the business. 1t
must be recollected that the small
dealer Is not necessarily q disreputable
dealer, and that the patrons of the
small dealer are not necessarily dis.
reputable drinkers. The poor man
has as much right to his glass Of beer
as the rich man to his champagne cock
tail, and Is entitled TO the same pro-
lection. The effect Of the pending
legislation will be to establish absolute
prohibition in the one case and to build
up bonanza monopoly in the other.
This will not do, gentlemen of the
District Committee. We believe that
you have fixed the bar.room license al.
together too high to start with, but
granting that 1t must remain at those
figures, there should certainly be diff
ference allowed in favor OF the beer
and wine seller. In New York he il
to pay only $50, one fourth as much
as the general saloon keeper. Why
should he pay ten times more than $50
in the District of Columbia? Why
should he pay as much as the whisky
seller when the evils OF his traffic are ten
times less? Why should decent men be
thus driven to the wall and disreputable
men encouraged to violate law with
which they cannot comply
